Sweet in composure Elegant in stance Devine in posture And passionate in romance

Believed to be untouchable secretly, seeking love Many find her desirable She doesn’t feel the above.

Defiantly she meets him he sweeps her of her feet In his arms, she finds comfort, for months that begin to meet

Family unaware and believing she sits at home frozen Waiting for the man, that her parents have chosen She is a free spirit though, and has already found love In the arms of a common boy, found in the dirt pushed and shoved He is not right for her, says the society where she lives Alas it is her heart, that says he has all the love to give They will never live happy, the family will protest And their love never be recognized, their souls will not rest

They run far away from it all, so that they live together alone Now they have nothing, and slowly she starts to miss home Her family tried to find her and searched for a year And the girl and her lover keep traveling with no money in fear The winter months approached, and the family ended their search Built a grave on a mountain where the little birds could perch She knew the way home all along, anytime she could leave But she needed to stay with him, this is what she believed

With no money and no food, they found a tiny manger to stay And there they cuddled up and watched the winter pass away When it was over, a man found their bodies, holding hands together Till this day their spirits live on forever.
